Sanil Chawla Slingshots Your Business Forward

The world of business is one that often discourages new entrepreneurs because of the massive workload that comes with managing and operating a new company, especially in the field of creative design and art. The gap of skill between young and fresh business owners and the older, more experienced men and women often can be overwhelming for people who are just dipping their toe into management. Covering this gap is one of the reasons why Sanil Chawla founded Slingshot in 2020.

Slingshot is a technology company that covers the weaknesses of new and upcoming owners by using computing software and packages that make the hassle that comes with operating a new creative business easy and quick. Chawla’s programming genius allows for people to spend less time in the trenches of management and more time exercising their capacity for innovation on the canvas, in the clay, with their instruments, or even in a sales setting. Slingshot can handle tax filing, wellness benefits, and even payroll for employees. For 2% of a company’s monthly revenue, Chawla and his team can craft incredibly specialized plans that tackle everything important on the menial side of business while owners can tackle everything important on the creative side of business.

Chawla originally started his company as a way to assist people in the music industry with their finances, but eventually broadened out to many other areas of business. Helping creative artists around the US, and expanding to the world, slingshot has even began expanding into A.I. to further develop the ways they can cultivate creativity in business.

Bella Weems: Origami Owl

Bella Weems is a 28-year-old who is the founder of the jewelry company Origami Owl. At just 14 years old, she turned her passion into a business after her parents told her she would have to earn her first car. Her passion for handcrafting jewelry turned into a multi-million-dollar business.See the source image

Origami Owls main product is called the “Living Locket” which is a locket which you can add in your own, personalized charms to. This is unique because each charm can represent the persons hobbies and interests and showcase them when they wear the necklace. Bella also sells bracelets, earrings, and other accessories.

Bella is a busy kid entrepreneur, but she still allots time to give back. She started the “Owlettes Initiative” in which she personally mentors young aspiring entrepreneurs ages 12-17. Bella shares tips with these kids and any advice from her success story. I think this part of her business is truly inspiring because she found a way to help others as well as keep up a successful business.

Bella says the best part of being a kid entrepreneur is, “…being able to encourage kids of all ages to not be afraid to reach for their dreams and never let anyone tell them they’re not good enough or their idea isn’t good enough.” Bella’s business Origami Owl not only lets people express themselves through their jewelry but inspires young entrepreneurs to take the risk to start making something they are passionate about become big.
